I SHOES I would like to prove this assertion to YOU. the government who created the courts. The truth Is, that the adjudication was Instituted in the Interests of the Improved portion of the Umatilla pro ject at Hermlston. Those of you who are familiar with Irrigation mat tors know that for years that Oregon wa without practical irlgatinn law Thee were all kinds of theories and rights and no man knew what he real ly owned. Legislators met and ad journed and no suitable law s were en acted. Finally the subject of Irriga tion became suffiiceatly important and proper law. were made in the e-s!on of 190:. the law going into ef-1 f.'ct February 24. 1!0:. Immediately' the government officials in this .state! st about to have ail water rights es- j t.tWshed beyond u piest:on of a: doubt. The adjudication on the rrna tilla river wa commenced solely In' behalf of the present approved per-' t:on of the I'mati'la project at Her-' m:s"on and will proceed to the same ends even through the west exten sion is destroyed The same ndjudl-l cation would hc; been made though! the west extensloa had not been pro-j po-ed The same contests would have! been filed, the same points would! have been ra sed and the same final rights recorded. In this matter of. i...iM-ii me government nas no greater rights than any water user on the I'matilla river, or Birch creek, or McKay creek. Any appropriator could have instituted the same pro ceedings; made the same claims and demanded the same consideration as the I'nited States. The reclamation service must act under the state laws and abide by the decisions of the state courts and every claimant for water wi!l finally have the same amount of water and no more, whatever Secretary Fisher and President Taft may decide as to the we A extension. I make these statements rather ex tended in order to divorce the west ' extension from the adjudication pro ceedings. The west extension should not be made a football In the game. Tou may kill the west extension dead as the Sturgis ditch and it will have no effect on any man's water right when the adjudication Is complete. The uneasiness of many small water users due chiefly to a misapprehen sion of the purposes of the govern ment has been preyed upon. Misun derstanding of the laws of the state coupled with the customary idea that the United States has rights before the courts greater than its citizens, has frightened a number of men of good Intention, and . their dread has made them victims of other deeper motives. Ulterior purposes are behind much of this new agitat'on that now seeks to have you gentlemen of the Pendleton Commercial club reverse your course. As we have been Informed, there Is a feature of the case other than the fear of losses through a judica tion. Tou. the members of the Pen dleton Commerc'al club will be, or. have been told that if the west ex tension can be killed new water rights rmy be Instituted, storage and other wise, in the ne'ghborhood of Pendle ton or on the upper reaches of the river and its streams that will serve to irrigate the lands adjacent to Pen- !

One feature of this matter I will leave to Mr. E. I. Davis who made all the surveys above Pendle ton and along Birch and Bear and McKay creeks and neighboring lands and who searched for reservoir sites. Mr. Davis was In the employ of the government reclamat on service from ; the beginning In this field and until after the Cold Spring reservoir, of which he was the chief engineer, was completed and has recent y returned from the employ of the Peruvian gov ernment and In Porto Rico, and ho will eifertain you with some valu-1 ablo facts. Hut, the spec'al fact I want to calt your attention to is the Andrew S. Smith filing in the state engineer's of- fice. In May. 1910. Dr A. O. Smith of Portland, pa'd the government rec- ' lamation service at Hermlston $400 for a copy of the. prepared maps and plans of that date of the west exten sion canals and lands. With these he made a water fKing in July, 1910, on j identically the same water a the west extension which filing will become effective if the government is Induc ed to withdraw from the field. The Smith fil'ng ! understood to belong to Dr. If. W. Coe; In fact. Dr. A. C. Smith when assailed by Portland peo ple last year as Interfering with the west extension disclaimed any fur ther interest in the matter than a fa vor to his friends and business asso ciates, among whom were Dr. Coe In th's connection yesterday the Hermiston Comm-cial club wired the state engineer the fo'.lowing: "Wire us date of A. C. Smith filing; amount of water and status of claim if the we- extens'on fails." in reply we re ceived this message: "President of the Hermlston Commer- I c'al Club, Hermlston. Oregon. "A. C. Smith filing, July, 1910. In good standing and effective if prior government filing lapses. One hun dred and seventy-five thousand acre feet for sixty thousand acres. Identi cal with government project. Signed: "JOHX H. LEWIS. "State Engineer." Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Portland Is president of the bank that bought the bonds for the Furnlsh-Cpe dam be low Pendleton and whether he or Dr. Coe or some one else owns the filing at this time it nevertheless is ahead of any other filings that might be made should the west extension be abandoned. He would get the water and as the scheme is a good one the filing would be taken care of. He would at least have something to sell to the large land owners down the river, whatever might happen to the large body of public lands under the we-t extension. Why this fact has not been made public, we are at a loss to know. We understand how the srr1 water users up the creeks and a great many of the people of Pendleton and vicinity, in fact of the entire county might not be familiar with such an important fact, but we do know that some of the leaders of the opposition to the we-t extension are fully aware of the Smith filing and we believe that the newspapers of this county have been dilatory in their duty to their readers by not pub'lshing the details of this import ant item In the matter before us. When they were giving space to the various fale statements and outra geous claims In some of the resolu tions of protest, why did they not say something about the A, C. Smith fil ing? We mut believe at least that the Pendleton papers were Ignorant of the fact and we hope not malicious. Now, members of the Pendleton Commercial club, do you prefer that the United States government or pri vate interests enter upon this field? Do you want the government to use some of the money Oregon is entitled to or do you want speculation? Do you want Dr. Henry Waldo Coe or some one e's-e to undertake to finance thl great undertaking, especially when Irrigation bonds are low or shall you remain on record as in fa vor of government reclamation of these lands? Do you want another f'asoo like the state land board Is now troubled with on the Deschutes? Do you want a failure like at Attalla Do you want more litigation and busted companies like that of White Bluffs? Do you want the history of the majority of private companies repeated under your own eyes? The west extens'on lands are 30 to 40 per cent government lands, 20 to 30 per cent belong to the R. R. com pany, 30 to 40 per cent to the Ore gon land and water company. The; public land-) will be under the direct control of the government under the reclamation act and will be cut into 10 and 20 acre homestead tracts and given to the settiers. Under private enterprise this land would be sett'ed in 160 and 3 20 acre tracts, with the old homes'ead shanty and the Irish man's gamble. The railroad lands and the Oregon Land and Water com pany's land will be sold under gov ernment control and direction and easy terms made by the government to actual settlers. This will mean a great body of free and low price land ; and a settler on at least every 20 j acre tract Do you want this or do , you want these lands to Kay in large ! holdings and be held at high prices? j Again, these lands are a part of the original Umatilla project. There has appeared In the newspapers of recent j date the statement that Oregon's only i hope for a share of the reclamntion fund for the next five or ten years lies ; In the west extension. The govern -I ment will neither set apart present ! funds nor will congress vote new : bonds for the creation of new recla- mation projects. Our claim for rec ! lamation fundi Is based on the one ; word "extension." The 1903 and I 1904 reports of the reclamation ser I vice and department of the interior ', say "irrigable lands of the Umatilla i project lie west of the Umatilla river i ind south of and bordering on the ! Columbia river." This, gent'emen. means practically the west extension. The report of 1901? fays: "The I'matilla project lies south of the Columbia near the Uma tilla river and is divided into the cast and west divisions." That Is to say, for years, tho west extension has e'ther been considered the Umatilla project or a part of the plans of the reclamation service In Oregon. The lnnds nre contiguous to the present approved project at Hermls ton: the source of the water supply Is the same and much of the rams water that Is diverted will be used on both. Plans provide for the taking up of seepage and drainage waters from the lands of the Hermiston country and carrying them to the low er levels of the west exten-lon and the tak'ng of water from the reservoir of the west extension to higher lev els of the present project. The two divisions in many respects blend to gether and the future plan of the government likewise include the pow er plant on the Deschu'es and pump ing from the Columbia at rustle Rock, and eventually the hope of the great John Day scheme. Now we have the f'gures and facts on all these thing. Do you want to pass them by for noth ing In favor of private schemes or nebualous systems? The adjudication will proceed. There is no escape from it west ex tension or no west extension. Do you want Andrew C. Smith or bis friend to take the waters of the Umatilla, or are you willing to stand pat for the government reclamation of the west extension. nr.i'.n kills a rum-: bull. Bull Makes Stubborn Fight. But Deer (Joros Him to Death and Vunlshes. New Preston, Conn. There was a lively fight between a big buck deer and a prize bull owned by George Hawley, a farmer living near here. The bull and a herd of cows were grazing in Hawley's pasture when the buck bounded over a high fence. The bull made for hint quickly. Hawley's young daughter was on a fence 100 yards away. She says that as the bull, with a deep bellow, charged the buck the latter sprang aside. The bull was no match for the the deer in quicknes-i, but when the an tlers and the horns locked the deer was driven back to his haunches. The battle continued until the bull be came winded Suddenly the buck leaped Into the air and came down head f'rst. his antlers buried deep in to the bull's side. The bull bellowed in pain, swung around to renew the f'ght, and the antlers were released from his flesh. Again the buck made an attack and this time his horns were buried In a vital spot In the bull's body and the animal fell dead. The cows scattered in every direction.
